- Funny how acquiring yarn sometimes only makes one feel the need for MORE yarn.
- Sometimes knitting kicks my butt. It's sticks and some string and I've been playing with them for years, but sometimes they still kick my butt. I can not get this stuff to cooperate with my design. I know what I want it to look like and it should totally be possible, but it is. not. working. Grrr.
- Elann's Bamboo Superwash (above) is very sproingy. And contrary to the ball band, I believe it is really a DK weight yarn. I get many more than 4.75 sts to the inch on size 6 needles, and I wouldn't say that I'm a particularly tight knitter. It looks (and drapes) much better than at the recommended gauge. It is very soft and silky and I like it.
- The Camila I bought in Opal Grey is the same color as my Pearl Malabrigo Trellis Scarf.
- That last sentence likely would make NO sense whatsoever to someone who doesn't knit.
- The drummer for the Killers is awesome. "All These Things That I've Done" makes me want to learn to play drums. You should listen to it for the drumline (at full volume of course, that's my method). Not technically knitting related, but I didn't promise all knitting related observations.
- Edited to add: Everyone, go to this site and check out your colors. Very handy. Courtesy of Jan from the comments to the last post.

I love that picture of you with your yarn. I can completely understand the excitement!
I love the picture. It makes me want to go out and buy yarn.
Heh, that looks like me last week as well.
I recently purchased elann.com's Pure Alpaca Fina and although it says it's sport weight, it looks more like fingering weight to me, but hopefully it will still suit the purpose that I got it for.
